Control Is the Key to a Workaholic’s Happiness

According to a recent study, more than 60% of executives, managers, and professionals work 72 hours a week. Blame it on smartphones. These folks are always connected, in other words — 67 hours during the week, 5 hours on weekends. But most of them don’t sweat it. As long as they have control of their workload, and when they can get it done, they don’t mind working long hours. But when their bosses are to blame for the overload — late meetings, demands for overtime — they aren’t too happy about it. It just goes to show: control is king.
